Recently, Taishir Hydro Power Plant in Gobi-Altai province commenced an electricity production test. During it, 300-350 kWt energy was produced.

The Taishir Hydropower project is one of the first ones of this kind in Mongolia. The 11MW power generation facility is installed on the Zavkhan River to provide approximately 37,000MWh per year to provinces of Gobi Altai and Zavkhan. Electricity supply in these isolated areas is currently dependent on small diesel generators. The project activity will meet approximately 90% of the electricity demand of Gobi Altai and Zavkhan provinces.
